Scenarios for the week of June 8

(Does anyone out there read this/notice my obsessive tweaks?)

I just got a coupon in the mail for free Benefiber. When you buy Benefiber this week, you get $3 in ECBs! So here's my plan...

Buy 2 Dove deodorants - $5
Buy 1 Smart Rinse - $3.49
Buy 2 Powerades - $2
Buy 1 Benefiber - $5.29 (or so - as long as it's under $5.99 it will be free)
-$1 Smart Rinse
-$2 Dove
-$1.50 Powerade
-Free Benefiber
$5.99
Pay with $5.97 + cash (I am still waiting for my $10 gift card from mypoints too!)
Get back $3.49 (Listerine), $3 (Dove), $3 (Benefiber). Have $3.98 (this - $1.02 from before) toward $10/$3 Dove deal.

Buy 4 Nivea shave gels - it looks like they are $3.99 - $15.46
Buy 1 Dove deodorant - $2.50
Buy 1 travel pack tissues - 50 cents
-$8 Nivea
-75 cents Dove
$9.71
Pay with $9.49, cash
Get back $5, have $6.48 toward Dove deal

[probably quit here, go back the next day...]

[updated 6/10]

Buy 2 Smart Rinses - $6.98
Buy 1 Powerade - $1 [local friend is mailing me the coupon...if I get it in time I'll do this]
-$2/Smart Rinse
- 75 cents Powerade
$5.23
Pay with $5, get back $6.98

Buy 2 Dove body wash - $7.98
Buy 1 Dove deodorant - $2.50
- $1 bodywash
- $1 bodywash
- 75 cents deodorant
$7.73
Pay with $6.98, cash, get back $3, have $6.96 toward Dove deal.

Then I could use the $3 to buy one more body wash (IF I get one more coupon, which I might), pay $2.99, get back $3 again.

I think I can switch the use of the $1 and 75 cent Dove coupons if I get antsy and go to CVS before the $1s come in the mail (which easily could happen!).
